Defense Distinguished Service Medal Citation
"Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aviles courageously inspired a brilliant defense and counterattack of his meager forces, against an overwhelmingly superior force, thus enabling a comprehensive victory to be obtained. His calm disposition allowed multiple lines of advance to occur, and his direct engagement of the enemy was in keeping with our finest traditions. His leadership and tactical acumen brings great credit upon the Seventh Cavalry Gaming Regiment."
